For more than four decades, the American Vein & Lymphatic Society (AVLS) has served as the leading professional organization dedicated to advancing venous and lymphatic medicine.
Founded on the principles of education, research, advocacy, and collaboration, AVLS brings together healthcare professionals from a wide range of specialties and disciplines who share a common goal: improving the care of patients with venous and lymphatic disease.
What makes AVLS unique is the breadth of expertise represented within our Society. Physicians, surgeons, advanced practice providers, nurses, sonographers, lymphedema therapists, researchers, educators, practice leaders, and industry partners all contribute to a collaborative community focused on advancing the field and improving patient outcomes.
Education
Education has long been at the heart of AVLS.
The Society is committed to providing high-quality educational opportunities for healthcare professionals at every stage of their careers. Through conferences, webinars, publications, and continuing medical education programs, AVLS supports the ongoing growth and development of clinicians caring for venous and lymphatic patients.
Importantly, our educational mission extends beyond procedural medicine. We believe the future of venous and lymphatic care depends upon educating all professionals involved in the patient journey.

Scientific discovery and evidence-based medicine are fundamental to advancing patient care.
AVLS supports clinical research, outcomes analysis, and scientific collaboration designed to improve understanding, treatment, and long-term outcomes for patients with venous and lymphatic disease.
